    Congratulations to all the students who reached a marathon milestone this year!

    A marathon consists of 26.2 miles, and every student in these pictures achieved that incredible accomplishment. I am so proud of their hard work, dedication, and perseverance in reaching this goal. Their commitment and determination truly paid off, and they should all be celebrated for this amazing achievement!

    This year, we had three students who not only reached one marathon, but TWO marathons! Their dedication, perseverance, and hard work truly set them apart. From L-R, we have Mateo Martinez, the top runner with 57.25 miles; Carson Sloan with 54.75 miles; and Tommy Gilliam with 52.50 miles. I am incredibly proud of these students for going above and beyond to achieve this amazing accomplishment. They are our Top 3 runners for the entire 2025–2026 elementary school year. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement!
